It's fantastic that you're passionate about photography and looking to major in it! Here's a list of some colleges known for their outstanding photography programs:

2. New York University (NYU) - NYU's Tisch School of the Arts offers a strong photography program with a focus on artistic development and experimentation. You'll be exposed to various genres and styles of photography, including documentary, fine art, and fashion.

3. California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) - Located in Valencia, CA, CalArts offers a BFA in Photography and Media. This program encourages interdisciplinary exploration between photography, video, and other forms of artistic expression.
